Brymo Explains Why He Performed Naked In London

Last week, Olawale Ashimi, popularly known as Brymo broke the internet again after he performed at an event in London rocking nothing but a piece of clothe wrapped covering his genitals but still leaving his butt bare.

Speaking in a chat with Sunday Scoop, the singer who had once appeared naked in his music video, explained why he went naked to perform.

“That was the way our forefathers used to dress before the arrival of the West. As a matter of fact, some months ago, a picture circulated on the Internet of a wealthy Igbo farmer who dressed that way in 1930. I just wanted to remind people of our past . It surprises me that people are shocked whenever I dress that way. That was the same way I dressed in the video for my song.

In this part of the world, we are mostly consumers ; not creators. If the advanced world should come here and take all of their technologies, we would be left naked”, he said.

“However, I appreciate the people who follow my music and see it as a form of artistic expression. Those are the people I do this for. For those who don’t like it; sorry, I don’t know what to do about that”, he added.
